Current Captain: PhenomenalV1 (appointed in S27)
View attachment 661714
Likely Successor: AceAndy
Another of the league's newest captains,
PhenomenalV1 took over after the Dragons'
annus horribilis in Season 27, taking on the league's toughest job amid a player exodus and widespread optimism as to the future of the club. His reign, predictably, has largely revolved around integrating a number of rookies into the club and slowly building a culture up after the club was so maligned last season. A recognisable name in the league, Phenom had been earmarked for captaincy a number of seasons ago and was a natural successor to
Blaze Storm and
Hatchy1992.
However, his output has noticeably fallen in Season 27, lacking his trademark gimmickry, and it would be understandable if that came down to captaining one of the league's quietest and weakest outfits. With half a dozen rookies on the books, it can be difficult to motivate all of them and although the quality of the posting outfit has improved, it would be disheartening to see the Dragons are still being carried by one or two posters week-to-week. I don't expect Phenom to give it away this season, but I would be surprised if he held on past Season 28 as he seems more suited to floating around the league as a personality than leading a side of rookies.
There's not a whole lot of successors within the club, so an import from around the league could be possible. At this point the most likely candidate in the future would have to be star rookie and EKA contender
AceAndy, the biggest success story of the Dragons' season so far. A dedicated clubman, Ace has carried the Dragons posting for most of the season with solid and reliable work, and if the Dragons want to keep things in-house should Phenom step down, Ace looms as the best option. Expect Phenom to integrate him into the leadership group if he hasn't already.
